After an operation that included 14 local, state and federal law enforcement agencies, 14 people were arrested on charges of online solicitation of a minor — 11 of those in Collin County, according to a release from the Collin County Sheriff's Office.

An arrest warrant has been put out for another suspect. Authorities rescued a child victim in Arkansas in connection with the sting, according to the release.

The sting, known as "Operation Atlas," targeted online predators in Collin, Dallas and Denton counties. Investigators suspect the child who was recovered was used to produce pornography, according to the release.

A number of electronic devices were seized and will be analyzed to gather evidence, the release stated. More arrests are expected from that analysis, it said.

Those arrested in Collin County include Reginald Alexander, Mario Bolanos, Dustin Burks, Brandon Farmer, Brandon Faust, Abduljalil Hajar, Luis Hernandez, Jesse Luciano, John Payne, Austin Pool and Jafari Syed. Kevin Patterson and Mario Trujillo were arrested in Dallas County, and Christopher Caylor was arrested in Denton County. An arrest warrant for Ismael Santana has been issued.

"These criminals go to great lengths to hide their true identities as they seek to exploit our children using the worldwide web," Collin County Sheriff Jim Skinner said in the release. "There is no way to estimate the number of children saved by their efforts."
